Santa Boris

Hello Nomad friends.  I am over at the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity today with some more Christmas in July inspiration.  I decided to dress Boris in red and make him rock, which also fits with the 100th Christmas Kickstart Challenge where I am elfing out this month and the theme is Merry Go Round.

I stamped Carmen's Veranda Boris Karloff on white card and cut with a circle die.  I coloured Boris with red sharpies and water coloured with distress inks.  I stamped the star from Carmen's Veranda Elf with Star using salty ocean distress oxide on the still wet salty ocean water coloured background to give that nice smudged effect.  I cut a slightly larger circle with a stitched circle die from blue card and used the star with the distress oxide to stamp all around the edge for a bit of texture.  I cut a base card with the same stitched circle die.  Boris rocks!! 

Join the anything Christmas with real stamping at the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity 

and include some circular things to join the fun at the Christmas Kickstart Challenge. 

 Hope to see you both places.  Thanks for dropping by.  Hugz

Free To Dream

Hello Nomad friends.  I always like a good challenge.  Sometimes it's nice to play safe, but then other times those more unusual elements grab mr Mojo's attention, he raises his sleepy head and says 'Huh!!' and I just know we are on a winner!!!!!  Over on fb Boblende Kreativitet have a list of things we can have free!!  Virtually.......  We need to select three and then interpretate them using scrappy things.  Mr Mojo thought this was worth getting out of the ice cream freezer for.........

TaDahhhhhhh!  I picked free house payments (indicated by my house related sentiments and cute little wooden house backed by colourful scraps), free travel and free groceries (the gnomes have that covered LOL)

I started with this 8 x 8 printed sheet from ZOJUdesign Beautiful Journey and selectively cut round elements I wanted to tuck things behind.

This beautiful central circular focal dreamy scene is from Ciao Belle Moon and Me Alarm Clock printed sheet.  I wish........  Cats, books and a great place to read with a spectacular view!  What more could I ask for.   

I ripped some small scraps of spiral galaxy printed paper and added those at the edges of the base layer before I started collaging the other bits in place. 

The Scrap and Me gnomes have groceries in hand and the beautiful sunset, sea and mountain sticker is from a beer bottle label, and everyone knows beer is very important source of vitamins and minerals, as well as being very refreshing on a hot day.

Big Cake

Hello Nomad friends.  The rain has freshened the place up a bit, and since it's a bit soggy out at the moment I decided to rattle around a bit in my craft space.  Found a couple of UFO's and zapped them together.

The grey pearlescent panel was embossed with sizzix dotted folder and cut with Simon Says Stamp rectangle stitched shape.  Really like this ef for an anytime, anywhen, anyone sort of background.  Then I added the big die cut cake using a Stamploration die.

Chihoahoa

Hello Nomad friends.  Happy July!!  Halfway to the silly season and over at the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity we are all about Christmas this month.  I am also elfing out with Jo's 100th Christmas Kickstart Challenge!!  Awesome achievement and so much fun to be Jo's elf for this special challenge.  The theme is Merry Go Round and we want to see spots, dots and circles on your xmas cards. 

I've used the gorgeous Taco John from Lost Coast Designs and given him some furry baubles to bark at, created using Lost Coast Designs small Circle Shadow Frame and a bit of gold sharpie doodling.  Taco John borrowed his hat from Lost Coast Designs Santa Mona.  She is very good at lending it out and so stylish TJ!!

So, the choice is yours!
